LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global leader in digital media and
digital convergence technologies, today announced the expansion of its
digital audio line-up with new devices that easily turn any home
entertainment setup into an optimal sound environment. The company’s
2013 AV products feature a number of wireless connectivity enhancements,
including the industry’s first soundbar that can connect with a TV using
wireless Bluetooth technology.

Products highlights include:

Samsung’s Vacuum Tube Soundbar (model HW-F750) is the first
soundbar to feature a built-in vacuum tube to maximize sound quality,
and is the world’s first soundbar that can wirelessly connect with a
TV via Bluetooth.

Samsung’s 7.1 Channel Home Theater System (model HT-F9750W) was
created to be the perfect counterpart for Samsung’s 2013 TVs, with a
Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifier that delivers pure sound, and design
and usability features that bring home a totally seamless experience.

“With the advances in picture displays, consumers also need to be able
to complement their viewing experience with high quality home theater
products,” said Sunny Lee, Executive Vice President, Visual Display
Business at Samsung Electronics. “Today’s product introductions prove
that consumers can enjoy premium sound and cutting-edge design without
sacrificing convenience, simplicity or ease of use.”

As testament to Samsung’s leadership in innovation, design and
engineering, the Samsung HW-F750 Soundbar and Samsung BD-F7500 Smart
Blu-ray Player have each been awarded a 2013 CES Innovation Award. The
new line of home theater products will be on display at Samsung’s booth,
located at #12004 in the Central Hall at the 2013 International CES,
which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) from
January 8-11, 2013.

Warmer, immersive sounds without hassle or
distortion

Samsung’s Vacuum Tube Soundbar (model HW-F750) resolves consumers’
desire for pure power and warm, natural sound by integrating a vacuum
tube amplifier into a soundbar for the first time.

Additionally, the HW-750 offers the ultimate in convenience with its
SoundShare function, which enables users to wirelessly connect the
soundbar to a TV via Bluetooth. Meanwhile, the product’s gyroscope
sensor gauges height, rotation and slope to optimize sound quality,
whether the soundbar is placed in a horizontal or vertical position.
Combined, these features virtually eliminate restrictions on where
consumers can place the HW-750 in their homes.

Adding to the product’s ease of use, users can activate the new
AirtrackON function, which automatically powers on the soundbar when the
TV is turned on, and allows users to control the HW-F750 with a TV
remote control. The HW-F750 sports a slim design and separate, wireless
subwoofer, making it an ideal companion for the premium design of any
Samsung Smart TV. With its stylish, metal design, the product combines
the best that vintage and modern technologies have to offer.

The ultimate in portable wireless sound

Samsung’s Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (model DA-F60) offers
sound quality and simplicity, whether consumers are at home or on the
go. The speaker’s integrated Near-Field Communications (NFC)
connectivity makes it easy for consumers to pair the speaker with other
NFC devices, such as a smartphone or tablet, by simply tapping the two
devices together. Additionally, support for Samsung’s SoundShare feature
means users can employ the DA-F60 as a TV speaker using wireless
Bluetooth connectivity.

The DA-F60 incorporates neodymium magnets and a passive radiator to
produce results typically found in high-end Hi-Fi audio systems,
including tuned low-frequency reproduction and virtually no distortion
even at high volumes. Users will also enjoy improved performance and a
high-quality experience with the built in apt-X codec technology, which
boosts the Bluetooth speaker’s extensive dynamic range, particularly at
the top end.

Weighing only three pounds, the Samsung DA-F60 is an ideal audio
companion that combines both fidelity and portability to reproduce
full-range audio outside the home.

A superb combination of the highest quality
audio and picture

Samsung’s 7.1 Channel Home Theater System (model HT-F9750W) was created
to be the perfect counterpart for a Samsung 2013 TV, with design and
usability that bring home a totally seamless experience. The new TV
Sound On feature allows users to instantly activate the system’s
1,330-watt sound while muting the internal TV speaker with a single
click of the remote control. This flagship HTS incorporates Samsung’s
proprietary vacuum tube and digital amplifier, as well as the latest in
Smart TV features to create the best entertainment experience available.

For a larger-than-life experience comparable to that of a movie theater,
the HT-F9750W offers the multi-dimensional sound of a swivel speaker,
coupled with a new DTS® Neo fusion codec – exclusive to Samsung – that
further enhances vertical sound to deliver unprecedented sound quality
to the home. A Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifier can handle a sound range
beyond the typical audible frequency range. Paired with a vacuum tube
pre-amplifier, consumers will enjoy true, natural sound with minimal
distortion. A Ceramic Polypropylene Injection Diaphragm (CPID) speaker
expands sound resolution so every note is distinct.

The exceptional picture quality of the HT-F9750W is immediately
noticeable, even on the Ultra-High Definition (UHD) TV sets coming to
market in 2013. Samsung’s 4K Scaler Processor generates true-to-life
pictures with vivid colors, and also upscales high-definition content to
UHD-level picture quality.

The Blu-ray component of the HT-F9750W can run multiple apps
simultaneously, and also offers Samsung’s latest Smart Hub® and
AllShare® features. This 1,330-watt system is an excellent addition for
any audiophile looking for the finest home entertainment experience.

Enhanced picture performance and speed

Samsung’s Premium Blu-ray Player (model BD-F7500) enhances the joy of
watching your favorite movies by transforming ordinary SD and HD content
into a superior resolution, such as that delivered by Ultra High
Definition (UHD)-supported televisions. This slim player offers a
dual-core processor and Samsung’s Smart TV technologies including Smart
Hub® and AllShare®, so that users can enjoy unparalleled picture
performance through an intuitive, streamlined user interface.

The BD-F7500 is an aesthetic study in black and silver, simultaneously
modern, yet classic. Its minimalist high-gloss black finish contrasts
with the unit’s aluminum trim, and complements the same design qualities
found on many high-end flat-panel displays that feature black lacquered
finishes set off by silver bezels.

The BD-F7500’s video processor includes a proprietary Samsung algorithm
that improves the visual quality of block-based low bit-rate coded
images and reduces blocking artifacts. This feature is especially
important for maximizing the visual quality of content streamed from the
Internet, as well as improving the quality of picture sharpness.
Furthermore, the unit’s 900MHz x 2 high-performance dual-core chipset
boosts the unit’s image processing capacity so consumers can enjoy the
highest picture quality and the fastest web-browsing speed.
